Dr. Francesco Rubino talks about the use of metabolic surgery to treat diabetes. He compares conventional bariatric surgery and metabolic surgery, noting that procedures may be similar but the outcomes can be different in that effects go beyond weight loss and improve a patient's metabolic system. Dr. Rubino is associate professor of surgery, chief of the section of Gastrointestinal Metabolic Surgery, New York Presbyterian Hospital-Weill Cornell Medical College, New York, NY. Miriam Tucker conducts the interview at the annual meeting of the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists.
